Song of the Day #190

Childish Gambino- "Kids (Keep Up)" from Camp

"If we were kids

I'd want to give you everything that you would want

Those other boys

They gave you toys, but all they wanna do is

Keep up

Keep up, keep up, keep up

That's all I want, keep up

Keep up with me, keep up

Keep up

Keep up, keep up, keep up

That's all I want, keep up

Keep up with me, keep up

I guess I'm fucking now

I'm getting used to it

It's cause I shine, and I ain't gotta use a crucifix

Fuck the fussing and fighting and arguing to this and that

And "Why you bein' mean to me Donald?" I never texted back

I know it's comin' quick, wishin' I could fast forward

Tell these nice girls they're the reason that I'm an asshole

Omega to alpha male because of that dollar bill

When I worked the mail room I ain't have a shot in hell

I called her ass for two months and heard shit from her

These girls couldn't care less when the chips under

The chips are up and on my shoulder, you heard me?

I take it out on girls who don't even deserve it

The Girls I tried to hit last year, I still might

Karmas a bitch who doesn't suck, but I still like

If we were kids I had the black K-swiss and Reebok

If we were kids I wouldn’t act like this but we not"

Song(s) of the Day #56

All Childish Gambino edition. Been listening to this album the past two days driving between the houses moving stuff. All have lines and chorus' that already mean a lot to me and I feel have a bearing on my life. Not just that the lyrics are done well, the beats are amazing and they're just fantastic songs. Last year in November I couldn't wait for this album to drop. It took me a couple months to really get into this album, Camp, and I now adore it. Had it not been for Watch the Throne, this year and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy last year, Donald Glover would have my album of the year two years running now.

Childish Gambino- "Letter Home" from Camp

"You're the only girl that I have ever wanted

Every other girl is trying to be you

My mama says that I should write you letters

But I think you're with other dudes

Take my hand, you'll like it

You don't even have to call

Yes I've had some alcohol, I'm sorry

Take my hand

You don't even have to call

You're somewhere out there after all

You're all I ever wanted

You're all I ever wanted

You're all I ever wanted"

Childish Gambino- "Heartbeat" from Camp

"She ain't a killer, but she'd fucking blow your head off

I know he wondering, "What the fuck you hiding?"

That we dated like raps about Bin Laden

Ayo, fuck this

Are we dating? Are we fucking?

Are we best friends? Are we something in between that?"

Childish Gambino- "L.E.S." from Camp

"Baby, you're the baddest

Baby, you're the baddest girl and uh

Nobody else matters

Nobody else matters girl and uh

We're kissing in the bathroom

We're kissing in the bathroom girl and uh

I hope nobody catch us

But I kinda hope they catch us"

"When I'm depressed you're someone I run to"

"Ooh girl, I wanna know

Are you ready to cry, cause I'm no good, no good

Ooh girl, I wanna try

I'm an awful guy and I'm always away

And I'm tryin' to say

I'mma piece of shit

Believe in this

I'm tellin' you

Cause we barely knew, what we had

I'm not that bad, the fun we had

Ooh"

Childish Gambino- "Kids (Keep Up)" from Camp

"If we were kids

I'd want to give you everything that you would want

Those other boys

They gave you toys, but all they wanna do is

Keep up

Keep up, keep up, keep up

That's all I want, keep up

Keep up with me, keep up

Keep up

Keep up, keep up, keep up

That's all I want, keep up

Keep up with me, keep up"

"The chips are up and on my shoulder, you heard me?

I take it out on girls who don't even deserve it"

"The only thing I put before me is do re

If you had told me the truth we’d be ok"

Song of the Day #13

As I'm typing this in the good ole Windows notepad while the internet is being a piece of shit at school, I occurs to me why I picked this Childish Gambino song as my song of the day. Ever since my dad passed away I'm feeling as if I've fallen into depression. Sleeping too much, loneliness, sadness, terrible thoughts, etc. I've built a cocoon around casting, football talk on Sundays/Mondays (and now Thursday's) and playing Minecraft and the like with everyone. While these times are helping me coupe, there's few genuine moments of joy and happiness in my life anymore. Not saying that if I've been hanging out with you lately it's for the worst, here's a quick that you to EVERYONE who's been there the past month and a half now. But this song, and I have no clue why, every time it comes on since I've gotten Camp, has made me smile, happy and go wow. Music is such a powerful thing. It's doesn't even have to be a song about anything going on, but can make you feel good.

"If we were kids I wouldn’t act like this but we not"

"If we were kids

I'd want to give you everything that you would want

Those other boys

They gave you toys, but all they wanna do is

Keep up

Keep up, keep up, keep up

That's all I want, keep up

Keep up with me, keep up

Keep up

Keep up, keep up, keep up

That's all I want, keep up

Keep up with me, keep up"
